To all whom may am.-

I e \Be'it known'that ,JosEPiTMYaoNGoa 1mm), ofFitchburg, Massachusetts, have inventedccrtai ew and useful Improvements in,Rattau-Machlnes,,of5 which the following is a full, clear I d v egactjdescl'iptioli,- reference 'beingfil'had the accompanying drawings,-

Into] this journal passes a hollow. sleeve, I with a corresponding male v-screw. Within thesleeve I is another sleeve, 2, having 011 "one end a flange, 3, of a'diameter corresponding to theinside of sleeve I, and on the other end a screwrthread for the receptionof a nut,- 4, provided with an ofl'set,' 'd,to tit snugly within the ehdof another journal, B. Through the sleeve2 passes a screw-bolt, .G,' V toclamp the-circular knife-guide b again'st'theflangeS. Aroundthe sleeve I is a nut, E, its face bearing against the journal B, and having a screw-thread corresponding to that on sleeve I, for the purpose of adjusting the relation between the sleeve I andthe journal B, so as to throw the cutter-guides b b nearer together or. farther apart.- [Keyed to the sleeve 2, near its outer end, is a spiral gearwheel, 0, which meshes into an endless screw,"d,

A tan-shaving machine. The; operation is as neioandatea March 21, 1876 a ii tam I Match working in a box, 0, in the bottom of the journal B1. A rod,

D, on which is this endlesss'crewd, passes to a hollow head, F, and into it, where, it has, on its end, a spiral gear-wheel, 1E, sitting at a slight angle to the face of the head, because the ends of the rods conveigeflafter leaving theboxes e 6..
